Prior to his appointment, Vicens managed SC Braga, guiding them to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. He also gained valuable experience as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City for four seasons, allowing him to learn from one of football’s most esteemed coaches.
Guardiola himself recommended Vicens to Lyon. “He spoke to me about set-pieces and mentality. And in the end, he said that the main thing for him was that Carlos is a very good person. He strongly advised me to go ahead and speak to Carlos,” shared OL’s managing director, Mathieu Gerlinger.
